Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2
Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the semolina, flour, baking powder, and salt.

3
Mix the wet ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

4
Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

5
Bake the cake

Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6
Prepare the syrup

While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and lemon (cut in half). Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the lemon and discard.

7
Pour the syrup over the cake

When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot syrup evenly over the top. Let the cake absorb the syrup for at least 30 minutes.

8
Serve and enjoy

Cut the Ravania into squares and serve at room temperature. Enjoy this moist and flavorful Balkan dessert!
